Home / Salem (Massachusetts) - Wink Travel Guide
Salem is a city in Massachusetts, New England.
The city is well worth a day-trip from Boston, or even a trip in its own right, to see what basically amounts to a three-dimensional textbook of American architectural history.
Salem is best known for the "Salem Witch trials" even though the hysteria really started in what is now Danvers.
Tourists know Salem as a mix of important historical sites, New Age and Wiccan boutiques, kitschy Halloween, witch-themed attractions and a vibrant downtown that a large number of restaurants, cafes and coffee shops.
